Well, I live in Madison, MS....just outside of Jackson. Austin is obviously west of me, but speaking as a transplant Wisconsinite frome experience......the summers are HOT and MUGGY. There are no other words to explain. Moving to eastern Texas is not going to be much difference than it is here. Texas is blazzing hot man. If you like that, go for it. I don't necessarily not like it, but don't set yourself up for something you don't want. Austin will touch 100 degrees in 1 summer week than Milwaukee will touch 90 all year long. Granted, your winters will be a lot nicer....but again, Austin will not give you nice weather 'all year round'. Will you be freezing your tail off in the winter, no...but you will definently need winter clothing. If you want beautiful weather all year round..i would suggest South Florida or Southern California...
